'Black Magic' - Still an amazing song to this day and their most iconic and probably their signature hit (at the moment). Like many I knew from the second I heard that it would be huge and with an awesome video to boot, which was obviously inspired by 'The Craft' which everyone should check out, coz it's brilliant. Plus I'm really glad this made them bigger, as the previous era didn't really push them forward in terms of success, they just kinda stayed at the same level of their first album and singles. But this really boosted them into global stardom, which was very much well deserved and plus this was the perfect start to the 'Get Weird' era where everything was basically perfect, although I do wish that the follow up singles charted higher than they did. But other than that though, perfect and looking at those sales this could look set to be a million seller within' the next year or so.

 

:snif:

 

With that gone... MOVE TO WIN THIS THING :cheer:

 

I second that notion! GETCHOBAK OFF DA WAWLL!

Black Magic deserves better. f***ing bop.

Beating 'Black Magic' by a small 0.01 point, is the girls' most recent and current single, 'Touch'. Little Mix are often criticized for their music gearing to much towards 'kid pop', and so they enlisted MNEK to produce the song, after a brilliant year producing hits like 'Hold Up', 'Final Song' and 'Ain't My Fault' among many others. Because of this, 'Touch' boasts as their most intricately produced single. It's really nice listening to all those subtle little touches within the instrumental. Though it's not and out and out "bandwagon" hop, it is certainly on trend, which has seen a noticeable rise in comments like 'I usually hate Little Mix, but their new song is a banger' on social media. And it's fast become my favourite Little Mix song, too.

 

'Touch' is their highest peaking post-album single hitting #4 for 3 consecutive weeks, and their second highest streaming hit, peaking at #2 on the streaming charts. There is some angst among the fanbase that the video came about 3/4 weeks too late, meaning it missed out on a potentially higher peak. And then when the video came, well, people had opinions. Personally, I think it's pretty great when you watch it in black and white. Anyway, the jury is out on the video, but it's a strange one for sure.

Move going to win another rate, what kind of precitable boring mess, get taste people :drama:

It's VERY close between the top 2.

Not 'DNA' smashing it's way into the top 2 *.*

 

'Touch' is fast becoming my favourite single of theirs. It currently switches from 'Secret Love Song' and 'Salute', buttttt I think 'Touch' might actually be challenging very soon!

Woooow... people really love DNA, huh? :huh: It's a great song, don't get me wrong - it's just never really hooked me, I guess. Although, Leigh's bridge has always been an album highlight.

 

I have zero qualms with Move winning though! Easily one of their best songs - just hook after hook after hook! Always pumps me up when it comes on during a workout too :yahoo:

Wtf is jade thinking

I like DNA, it's a really good song, but Top 2? Really?

'Touch' - A great follow up single to smash and is already a smash hit in it's own right, but I do feel that it's a little high on here though, especially over 'BM', not that it's not a great song or anything, it's just a little too soon, but I am kinda disappointed by the video, maybe it will grow on me in time, at the moment I find the video a bit MEH. Anyway awesome song and glad it's doing well and for a post album single to make the top 5 these days is something of a feat.

 

DNA VS Move: An awesome final 2, I'm really hoping for 'Move' to win, but however it goes I'll be happy with either choice as they're both fantastic songs.

Soz guys :ph34r: 'Black Magic' is just very bland to my ears. However... that top 2 is anything but *.* 'DNA' is my favourite Little Mix single so I would be thrilled to see that taking the crown. I awarded 'Move' a 10 though so I would be more than happy for that to win too. Good job Buzzjack :heart:

 

('Touch' has very quickly surpassed 'Shout Out To My Ex' as my fave single from the current campaign so far! Glad to see it being taken to so rapidly here.)

I had your scores under the wrong name! Edited now. You should see them :)

Haha thanks!

For a song y'all seem to be complaining about, it's done bloody well here! Though I feel like this one is forgotten compared to some of their other earlier hits, spending a short 5 week stint in the top 40 (re-entering for one week because of gift cards) pop fans still stan this hard, as witnessed by its score here. Who'd think that this little hit would still be finishing top 2 on the rate even after Little Mix's 2 year (so far) imperial phase? I really enjoy this song, it's not my favourite, by far, but it's still a great moment from them: Slick, fun and immediately more mature than 'Wings' that came before. A massive highlight for 'DNA' is its partnering with 'Lightning' on the Get Weird tour where they went crazy in an enchanted forest.

And, just as with the last rate, 'Move' Takes the crown. A unforgettable moment in pop. Little Mix followed up the DNA era with this off the cuff, slow-burning banger. I can't explain the feeling when this comes on in the club, it's still such a weird song, but an undeniable one too! It'd be interesting to see how this would do in 2016 and if it was an even bigger hit now that they're as popular as they are.

 

'Move' is still one of Little Mix's more remembered older hits, though I'd say 'Salute' is just as well remembered these days. It'll be a tour staple for years to come, but it will it continue to top the Little Mix singles rates forever?

I love me some DNA but too be fair, I think it's overrated due to the fact it's a blatant and pretty much intentional E.T. rip off, but then it works for them. Move, although not my all time favorite of theirs, I think does deserve it's crown for it's creativity, catchiness and uniqueness.

Please continue to voice your results opinions, but thanks so much for all the comments so far. And everyone who took part! Really thankful for the huge turnout. Little Mix are really putting together quite an impressive singles discography.

:wub: A worthy winner! Move is definitely one of the most distinctive songs in their catalogue. Great to see Touch within the Top 3 and it'll be interesting to see how high it places next time a singles rate occurs.

 

Thanks for all the effort you've put into this Joe, it's been enjoyable! :D

Move is amazing, but I don't see it as their #1 single anymore. Also I absolutely LOVE DNA, but yeah, it'd probably be top 5 to me, not #2. It's one of those songs that almost none other girl group could pull it off. I wish they'd release it in a different time in their carreers, so it could be more successful and appreciated!
